For many decades, native languages were largely inaudible or absent from our screens, with filmmakers implicitly participating in the process of linguistic colonization of Native American peoples. The last twenty-five years have seen the emergence of initiatives aimed at revitalizing native languages and remediating the oral tradition, both in print and on screen, in a context of increasing intercultural collaboration. In the Quebec context, filmmakers such as Marquise Lepage, Myriam Verrault and Chloé Leriche work closely with aboriginal individuals and communities, developing horizontal (rather than vertical) relationships with them and integrating them into the creative process. This article examines a particular case of intercultural collaboration, that of the Arnait Video Productions collective, co-founded by Quebec filmmaker Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Inuit elders Susan Avingaq and Madeline Ivalu. Through interviews with Cousineau and drawing on the work of indigenous language specialists, this text looks at the process of translation, seen as an action contributing to cultural and intercultural mediation, but also how this process engenders new ways of seeing, thinking and hearing indigenous languages on screen. Greater attention is paid to the strategies, aesthetic scope and modes of resistance associated with the translation process in Arnait’s trilogy.

Christmas offers a privileged perspective to observe the reconfigurations of children’s place in society, showcasing various social representations of childhood, such as the child as a victim, the innocent child, and the child subject of rights, which contribute to the sacralization and mythification of childhood. In sum, this article highlights how Christmas illustrates the transformations of the sacred and the contemporary valorization of childhood.
